Ebay dispute
I'm a private seller, I sell loads of used and to be honest at least half of it is broken things, all my listings have 5-15 photos and are always described accurately, what you see is what you get. I also don't accept returns. last week I had a buyer message about one of my items they bought asking for a return on a £5…

Changes to 'used' categories for clothes
Introducing new conditions for pre-loved clothing ... - UK eBay Community I think a lot of clothes sellers will welcome this change as it is something they have been asking for for a while. It is a minor change, it just allows a range of options for 'used' which will make things easier for buyers to search.

Forwarding Occasional Royal Mail Letters
Has anyone recent experience of forwarding letters? My son is at university and a letter that was delayed arrived day after he went back to university. Is it still possible to forward for free by putting line through address on unopened letter and writing "please forward to" followed by his university address on? This used…

GGBG and eBay
I recently sold a laptop on eBay. After wiping it I went to ship and typed in the postcode and it does not show on Hermes website. I messaged the buyer as his address was random - numbers before his name, GGBG on numerous lines within the address body. After I explained that the address (according to Royal Mail) does not…

Stuff in the loft - Trash or Treasure?!
Guys, My folks are keen to empty their loft of all the stuff they don't need - realistically quite a bit of this is probably mine! Im assuming most is due to the dump, but, some may be useful/valuable/wanted, just thought I'd canvas for opinions on here.. Mitsubishi Diamond 21 crt - man this thing was heavy, it was a…

Ebay - request opened by a buyer. How long do I have to refund it
Hi a buyer has opened a request for a refund. (I'm a private seller) Back in the day where there was selling fees, there was a risk that if you waited until ebay 'stepped in' and ruled against you (which they always do) then you lose the selling fees. The cheapest option therefore was to just refund the buyer. Now theres…

What is reported?
Can someone please explain what is being submitted to HMRC from ebay? It's unclear and difficult to understand. Many people report on an April to April date. But the report from ebay, if I understand correctly, is January to December. How does this match or make any sense for HMRC? I believe I understand the date to be the…

Ebay sales over £1000
I expect to have sold approximately £2,300 worth of hand made items on Ebay and Etsy by the end of the tax year, so obviously I am over the limit. As I live on 2 small pensions, savings and investments I do not earn enough to go over my personal tax allowance. When adding on the online sales I am still below my tax…

EBID trying to force me to join and use REVOLUT
Apparently since 20.01.25 (coincidentally - my first sale!) has to verify my payment card. It accepted my AMEX when I paid the £69 for a lifetime membership, but will not accept it now. It says it will only accept REVOLUT which I have no intention of joining as a payment card. I have entered via the site URL and not the…

eBay account hacked
I am still shivering a little, thinking what other information the scammers might have got... anyhow. This afternoon I logged into my ebay account, browsed for a little while and bought a dress. Then I went to take some photographs of items I wanted to list. Left my laptop in the room, logged in. When I got around listing…

Just printing my ebay labels ready for the post run and this message pops up each time on the ebay postage page.

New tracking confirmation and possible scams.
Should we be concerned when the new rules on tracking confirmation comes in on Feb 4 that it will encourage scam buyers to make claims for none delivery? All they have to do is check the tracking showing parcel as not delivered (when in fact it has been delivered) and put in a claim. The item, still showing as not…

Can (should I) become an ebay business seller?
I see a lot of threads on here where people are getting stick for being registered on ebay as a private seller when they are actually running some sort of business. What is the opinion on a genuine private seller registering as a business? I am a genuine private seller. Although, I do currently have about 1200 individual…

"Local eBay Deals Mapper" doesn't work for 'Search Anything'
I used to use the "Local eBay Deals Mapper" on moneysavingexpert all the time to see what was available in my area regardless of category by leaving the "What would you like to buy?" section blank. Now it demands I put something in there or select a category. Has it changed or do I need to put something specific instead?

2 or 3 "offers" every week on the same items, is it ebay or the seller?
I posted recently about some gadgets I was looking to buy and the silly prices people start them at on ebay. They are almost double the auction selling price and they are still for sale whch I expect them to be for a very long time at those prices. But the reason for this post. I keep getting offers with £5 or £10 off, 2…
